What Makes Me Different

I Ship - Whether Starting or Rescuing

Started from zero:

  • InstrumentStudio Professional Edition — defined vision, aligned stakeholders, shipped
  • Test abstraction library — identified need, persuaded leadership, saved hundreds of engineering hours

Rescued:

  • Manufacturing test framework — 3 years at 50% → shipped in 1 year
  • gRPC infrastructure — 2 years in negotiation → shipped in 1 year
  • Parametric Data Viewer — team stalled → shipped in one quarter

Every IC Role

Developer → project manager → tech lead → architect → product manager → back to developer.

A manager once called me a "triple threat." Then I added PM and kept the technical expertise that lets me speak fluently with engineers.

I Lead by Unblocking

Servant leadership. Intent-based, not order-based. I work within teams, not above them. Going to bat for engineers is job one.

Teams I work with go faster and produce better solutions because they're in on the decisions.

A senior architect wrote he'd "hire me in a second to fix any wayward project."

The Unlock

AI-assisted development has driven a golden era for my personal projects. My GitHub activity shows a visible spike starting August 2024—learning phase to shipping phase.

I spent months studying through KodeKloud and Boot.dev, picked up an AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, and modernized my stack. Then I started pairing with Claude Code and the velocity changed completely.

Galligraphy, Player1, PubClerk—all shipped in months while holding a full-time job. I'm not AI-dependent. I have 20 years of knowing what good code looks like. But I am AI-augmented, and I'm shipping more than I ever have.
